12000 B.C. (CTP)

The frozen continents are mostly unchanged, while Zeal is missing its bridge across the central continent's lake. This is compensated by the Skyways, one of which takes the player to Kajar or Zeal Palace depending on which rock one walks toward. The Sealed Pyramid is truly a palace, having a structure of its own. This may have been buried beneath the actual pyramid later seen on Zenan and compose the Sealed Pyramid dungeon of the Prerelease. The New World has no functional exits, save a misplaced exit to the North Cape. The Sun Keep is totally missing, and the world map plays Corridors of Time (in the final version, howling wind is heard until Zeal falls).
